Finally, the last part of my great getaway bag making: the final assembly.The 2 major parts of the bag were ready to be joined together. First, I stitched the lining base to the exterior base. This is easy.I turned my exterior bag inside out and placed the lining bag base and exterior base wrong sides (WS) together. I stitched along all 4 sides with a 5 mm seam allowance.I folded the exterior bag back, outside in, over the lining. The lining is now inside. I stitched the lining and exterior top edge and a part of the side seams together, along the seam that was created by joining the zip top panel and the main body pieces. It can easily be machine stitched with a 5 mm seam seam allowance. Just keep away from the original stitching line.

Then, I stitched - by hand - the folded edge of the lining to the zip.

I attached the adjustable strap to the bag, following the guidelines on p.106-107.

Welcome

I´m glad you found my blog.
Let me introduce myself.
I have a part-time medical job and am a mam with 3 boys. For Bloggersworld I will call them: ¨The 3 Musketeers¨, as they often behave like that. My husband, Mr. Musketeer , has a very busy medical practice.
We live in a rural village in the east of Flanders, the Flemish (Dutch) speaking part of Belgium.
In this blog I hope to share some of my sewing treasures with you.
